Followed this recipe exactly. Chili with cinnamon, cocoa power and allspice is not for me.

Very good. I substituted black beans for kidney beans and added two teaspoons of cumin.

Very good. People, if you don't understand the taste of Cincinatti chili, don't try this. It's totally different than Texas style chili, but equally delicious!

Love this recipe! I was born and raised in Cincinnati, so I love Cincy style chili, and I'm so glad I can finally have it again after becoming a vegetarian. I've used this recipe several times before and still love it. I omit the kidney beans, hot sauce and red wine vinegar and add a little extra brown sugar.

I love Cincinnati Style Chili, but this was my first time trying to make it myself. I was skeptical about the cocoa powder and after making it, I know that I should have trusted myself and left it out. If it weren't for the cocoa powder, this would have been great.... It gave it a bitterness that could not be overcome. No matter how long I left it to simmer, it didn't blend with the other flavors. So, next time, I'll just leave that out and I am sure it will be great!

This was amazing! The only thing I did was used canned beans instead of soaking them myself - cut down on prep time.

I used a lb of lean ground beef. I also left out the beans because Cincinnati style usually doesn't have them. I also blended half of the batch to get the right consistency. Tastes just like skyline.
